When I worked at a corporate job, I kept looking for nail polish colors that reflected my personality and were still professional enough for a conservative office. Having professional nails might not seem important, but professional nails signal composure to your colleagues, clients and competitors.

Here are my favorite professional nail polish colors for every budget — there are so many shades of pink! I’ve chosen the best options for the career-savvy business women. Whether you wear power dress or casual dress to the office, this light pink palette has you covered. These colors will take you from the interview to the boardroom and everywhere in between (manicure meetings anyone?).
